नाराचनिकरं नीलं निमेषं नासहञ्छकाः ।
रमठा नलिनीषण्डा इव ताण्डवितासवः ॥ ९ ॥

nārācanikaraṃ nīlaṃ nimeṣaṃ nāsahañchakāḥ |
ramaṭhā nalinīṣaṇḍā iva tāṇḍavitāsavaḥ || 9 ||

The sakas or Scythians being unable to endure the impulse, of the black iron arrows for a moment fled to all directions; and the Rumatha people were blown away and broken down, like the lotus bed by the blowing winds.
